A Bad Moms Christmas is a sequel to the the 2016 film, Bad Moms and it boasts of an ensemble cast which includes Mila Kunis, Kristen Bell, Kathryn Hahn, Christine Baranski, Cheryl Hines & Susan Sarandon. The Christmas comedy follows three under-appreciated and over-burdened mothers as they try to make Christmas perfect for their families. Things get a little complicated when all their mothers show up in town. Going into the theater, I wasn't too sure I would like A Bad Moms Christmas because most sequels don't get better than their originals and this was no different. I enjoyed Bad Moms & I found it funny but the sequel was less funnier and too raunchy. I wanted to see it mostly because it starred two actresses I absolutely adored, Baranski & Sarandon, but the script felt lazy & was very predictable. A Bad Moms Christmas & Daddy's Home 2 would have done a mini movie mash up because both had empty plots.

A Bad Moms Christmas still delivers way more than Daddy's Home 2 which is undoubtedly the worst film I've seen this year. In the original, the theme was how important moms were and they tried to do the same thing with this sequel but they failed in more ways than one. My worst part of the film had to be the scene where Carla (Hahn) & Isis (Sarandon) stood in front of a store and aggressively stole groceries from the bags of people leaving the store. I was mostly mad because they made Susan Sarandon do this, Its sad to watch such a phenomenal cast star in such a film. This is definitely a Christmas cash grab movie because there was nothing really special about it. Overall, A Bad Moms Christmas offers a few laughs and emotional moments and It's not a terrible film, just not as funny as the first. This is something you see from your TV or laptop screen.
